asharerin Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Enjoy the squeeze. This is a game of last man standing. When Prime is the lowest you know sellers are desperate, and desperation means many opportunities for $$$ to be made. The cheaper they price, the faster the dead wood is cleared out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the filters i'm using All >Toys & Hobbies > Building Toys > LEGO > Sets Even when i drop those filters i'm only seeing 223 listings and just 14 auctions. Are you seeing more? I am accounting for all items in new condition, so that would include auctions as well as buy it now. I generally don't auction very often as I have found that the final sale price generally ends up lower than I hoped. I like to set my price and call it good.

BarryZola Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Just a bit of a heads up for UK people (although you're probably ON THIS anyway). Tumblers at Smyths apparently went live on home delivery again this morning and sold out quickly. This happened last week on Monday and then on Tuesday they started being available for click and collect at local stores for pick-up. If last week is anything to go by then it would be good to start checking local stores (in person or on the website) from tomorrow and especially in store from Wednesday if you need to try to grab a couple. Not too bothered myself as I've got 6 already but if I do check at some point and they're available I'm going to grab a couple more. Might need to use some as swaps for a Red 5 or something else I miss if the Tumblers fortunes are looking good enough to do a suitable deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintrainer69 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if the price dropped to £220 in the uk while everyone realises that they've bought a kit that every man and his dog bought because they thought the same thing. And peddled their random tumbler in amongst all the other stuff they are selling. I think this could be one of the most interesting sets of all time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then gone forever. It's a $200 UCS exclusive representing a timeless franchise (Batman). It's a vehicle. It has exclusive minifigures. Even with massive hoarding for a solid month by every Tom, **** and Harry during the midst of the "Lego Investing is Better Than Gold" hype, it has shot up to 50% above RRP in two weeks since becoming virtually extinct at retail. And the new Batman movie comes out in two months. Yeah, I'm sure it's going to flop any day now... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannibal Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ewwww. The Tumbler was never a looker, but this new thing just looks retarded. On the positive side...it will make the Tumbler even more desirable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerG Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Maybe year end stocktaking lead to finding some Tumblers in remote Warehouses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryZola Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Strange times. Got a Tumbler order in (x1) but Red Five was just saying 'Sold Out' so probably missed that one narrowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Five shows sold out if you go into the Star Wars Theme, but if you use the search function for it, it shows up available 9th of February. But when you click in to it, it shows sold out again.

jackanape Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Not too surprising as Smyths in the UK have been sourcing extra stock from somewhere recently (it showed up for home delivery yesterday for some people) so perhaps the last few supplies are just making their way through the chain. Sucks for those people that just bought one for £250+ on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego IT on the button as always I use the Brickpicker Stock tracker: http://www.brickpicker.com/brickwatcher/lego-stock-checker-lego.cfm to look at availability in different LEGO websites. It gives a direct link to the item on the different country LEGO Shop at Home sites. There shouldn't be any difference in availability between the European webshops though. They all use the same central European warehouse stock, as far as I know. So the same set showing available at the Irish LEGO Shop at Home while showing Sold Out in the rest of the EU would tell me that the Irish site is showing a glitch...
